Thanks for reporting! I can reproduce this behavior, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 88955714d345d8584e86ae34bf5f5d1f3f4af9f7 TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2014-03-15_04:16:49 Looks like some weird selection behavior: * Open Writer * Type 3 times _ * Press enter * Select the horizontal line * Press delete/backspace Behavior: as mentioned, horizontal line doesn't go away * Press return multiple times Behavior: with every new line, a new horizontal line is created Kind regards, Joren Already reproducible using Version: 4.1.5.3 Build ID: 1c1366bba2ba2b554cd2ca4d87c06da81c05d24 Hi, Did you try to put the cursor in the paragraph, or select it completely, and choose "Format > Clear direct formatting", or Ctrl+M ? Or open the dialog Format > Paragraph and look at the tab Border :) Cheers, Cor I tried it now and it's worked, even though it's quite counterintuitive. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Gabriel (In reply to comment #4) > I tried it now and it's worked, even though it's quite counterintuitive. You mean that typing = three times and then hitting Enter and then see a line appearing is intuitive ... Come on ;) (In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > I tried it now and it's worked, even though it's quite counterintuitive. > > > You mean that typing = three times and then hitting Enter and then see a > line appearing is intuitive ... Come on ;) I'm sure he meant your deleting-method worked, but that's very unintuitive. Actually, I totally agree on that.

Of course I agree on that too ;)
One needs to know what it is, to be able to get ridd of it. It isn't some sort of object/drawing line ...

We can't handle it as such, so we have to delete it as a formatting. Lets keep this one as RESOLVED WORKSFORME. We might want to watch/count this questions/bug reports, and take further action if necessary. Thanks Cor :)! (In reply to comment #8) > Lets keep this one as RESOLVED WORKSFORME.

I guess it's at our FAQ somewhere ? A pop-up / info bar showing for a moment mentioning "border has been applied to the paragraph formatting" or somesuch would be helpful, I guess... |
